[Snow? norfolk n chance]

The second half of February is definitely colder on average than the second half of November. The only factor which works in November's favour is shorter daylight hours and weaker sunshine, but that counts for nothing if you don't get the right synoptics (which you hardly ever do in November).

We all have opinions on season start dates, mine are winter 15th Nov-15 Feb, Spring 15th Feb-15 May, Summer 15th May to 15th Aug, Autumn 15th Aug to 15th Nov, Nov definitely more winter than Feb as weaker sun, short days, run up to Xmas etc,

still got your great profile pic, the class song and video (so give me coffee and tv, easily, take me away from this big bad world, and agree to marry me, start over again!)

Fair enough. It still should be a lot more wintry at this time of year than it currently is though. Ditto for late August and summery weather in recent years.

"Coffee & TV" is class. The ending where he ascends to heaven to rejoin his departed love interest always warms the cockles of my heart.

Beggining to think I have really left trouser leged off the weather gods....after a totally abysmal snow-less winter, I start to look foreward to some warmth....Big fat high pressure sat over the country and its totally pee soup outside and has been for the last 2 days whilst the majority of the country is enjoying the sunshine, probabbly those who had all the snow!

Yep, sadly it's a cloudy high so doesn't do anything for the Venus/Jupiter conjunction later over the next few evenings. We missed out on the aurora display last week as well.

The mild dry weather is nice, but I'm fed up with the gloom.

Still, I do hope next winter is a bit better than the one that has just passed.

Noticed we got a mention in the BBC winter summery i.e. NI had it's mildest Christmas day since records began !.

A very small minority more like, its very misty in most areas of the midlands, southeast and north today even our resident HP lover is under cloud cover.

Temps are below average Peter in wide areas of england and under all that mist, fog and cloud it feels anything but mild.

Today is the first totally overcast day for 8 days.

And Eugene I insist you stop trolling please, you are getting a tad irritating.

you are wasting you typing finger I am afraid.
I also find it rather amusing how the seasons are 'different' for some folk.
Quite how they would expect any statistics to be derived by everyone having their own version of the dates for winter, summer etc is really quite funny.
Only by having fixed months can any averages have any meaning.

No point looking back now. It was a crapp winter but nowt anyone can do about the weather it just happens. Will have to look forward to the first proper warm spell now. Ski season definately gone!
